I feel almost the bare soul of its creator, my respect. One of the oldest jobs in the whole world where you can put your soul and life in it. And never be done......... I love handcrafted art in any style big small. As long i got a little piece of its soul.......

Kind of wondering what the point of spending the time melting and hammer-drawing the silver ingot is when you can just buy bar or sheet stock and be very close to the required dimensions right out of the box. I honestly don't get it, all that extra work preprocessing adds nothing to the final product and just eats a lot of time.
Many reasons. I do both in my work. #1 reason is the ability to control the quality of the silver or gold. Silver absorbs quite a lot of oxygen leading to porosity. Many times I have purchased stock bar just to have it made poorly and full of excess oxygen, whenever I melt it, as it cools a million bubbles release, creating an excess of additional work and labour. Mass produced or industry product does not necessarily equal high quality product. Casting into a water-bath of preheated water the Japanese way, as commonly done with Shakudo and Shibuichi, ideally after melting with charcoal to absorb excess oxygen, creates a cast bar of supreme quality with almost zero oxygen content due to the airless environment it cools in, and can revive silver which previously was riddled with oxygen. Further working the bar by hand allows precise control over the grain structure and direction. This is useful for different projects. When you have lots of scrap pure silver, it's important to be able to process it yourself. If you were to send back all your scrap being unable to process it, the refining fees make it unfeasible over the years, it is important to be able to process your scrap into superior product. I can refine chemically to separate out alloys or will regularly cast bar and hammer by hand like this from my scrap silver, if you were to just buy stock of unknown grain direction and unknown oxygen content, your work will become irregular and inconsistent. The ability to process the work yourself does add a lot of time, yet creates an incredibly consistent and superior product, which in Japan is paramount to the craftsman. No time is wasted. Ever. Not everyone can work this way though, hammering too long will implement cracks into the ingot which gets worse the longer the bar is worked, so only the finest hand forgers can work this way. Also the benefit that the art created by the silversmith here is 100% made from scratch by hand. Simply pre buying a blank and applying a few minutes of time does not equate to a handmade product, merely an assembled premade product of unknown quality and longevity. The highly compressed and refined grain structure of these Japanese silver works are unparalleled in quality and durability, and will last a lifetime of wear compared to generic western made wear. The argument of why handmake it properly compared to having it mass produced for you for cost and time savings is why poor quality low durability products are the norm for the West, which is an incredible loss to the world today.
Hmm. I've watched several of his videos and although skilled I'm seeing a flaw in his work. A pattern you might say. And that is, checkered pattern pieces are all he does?! So he's been doing only checkered pattern jewelry for 45 years?!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just love watching you create something special and thank you for sharing it and god’s blessings always 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for your comments!!!
it's not about the force you apply with the hammer, it's about how many times you drop the hammer ... respect
it’s neat watching something from basically nothing into something neat n functional. 👍🏻
Glad you liked it!
It's a job that really requires patience.
I'm impressed.
Я восхищена мастерством и терпением Мастера !
Thank you so much for your comments!!!
Bei anelli artigiano superiore a contatto con la natura complimenti per l esecuzione 💔💝💫✨💝
Thank you for your comment !!!
Absolutely beautiful, well done sir👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful
Не совсем понятно, в чём смыл отлить каплю и перековывать её. Почему сразу брусок не отлить?
Sterling silver is not 99.9 % silver, it's an aloy. Just sayin.... beautiful work and craftsmanship though.
It's 92.5 %

Very beautifully-written explanation!
Great reply to a rather silly question.
@@dennisneo1608 I'm sure you've never asked anything "silly" in your life.
